201bhoy Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 http://www.lococarriage.org.uk/ireland_1992.html Found a great wee piece here on Irish Railways 1992. Belfast in particular is covered quite a bit, which is quite rare around those times maybe given the situation. Some great pics from Adelaide freight yard, all of which is now gone! Anyone know what is hiding between the cement silo in the picture taken from the top of Adelaide crane? Is it a hunslet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirley Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Great find 201, looks very much like at Hunslet at the Cement Silo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josefstadt Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Definitely a Hunslet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunslet 102 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Hunslet's favourite hiding place,behind the silos! The Hunslet would idle there for hours doing nothing,while the CIE loco's would marshal their own return workings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junctionmad Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 They got quite the royal treatment. Nothing like engineering professional courtesy ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Railer Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Very good article. I found the stats about the brake shoes of the DARTs interesting and the fact that in 1992 Northwall was dealing with up 14-15 out going liners per day. How times have changed. Makes me wish I was born about decade earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
201bhoy Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 Northwall was dealing with up 14-15 out going liners per day. I know! And to think that there's one daily liner each way from there, and that's a significant improvement from 3/4 years ago! And no freight at all up here in the North Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
